Welcome to Bleach Platinum Hearts RP! This is a Bleach Role Playing Forum set in the year 2416, over 400 years away from the Original Bleach's timeline. It has elements of both canon and custom for a unique mixture of role playing never seen before on Bleach. To get started, please sign up and read our starter guide:

Personality:Big FunBarron is a large man with a loud voice and feels no need to hide either of those things. While this obviously makes him about as stealthy as a batallion of tanks rolling towards your house from the front in broad daylight, that is really of no concern to him - he laughs a lot, can make jokes and tell funny stories like almost nobody else. No party is save from him and the good mood he brings with him on a daily basis, and no beer shall be left alive when he leaves. He doesn't care for people making jokes at his expense, either, but he does take up challenges with a hearty laugh at any time. Preferably, challenges that involve physical strength or alcohol - or both.

DrunkardIt's hard not to notice, really - Barron is almost always drunk. Oddly enough, he is friendlier and much nicer when drunk - his sober self is not quite as fun loving, and since being drunk is the normal standard, most of his personality traits only apply to that state as well. Unlike humans - or other races without self-control - he can't get an actual addiction to anything, meaning that he won't get particulary grumpy or aggressive over having nothing to drink for a while. He just enjoys a good amount of alcohol every now and then.

Big Brother MentorBarron often seems very wise to people, even if his wisdom is hidden underneath drunken laughter and gibberish. He gives advise in cryptic messages, enjoys making challenges for younger people and is generally interested in helping those of pure heart become stronger.

Enviromental ProtectorComes with being part of nature itself, he always aims to preserve earth and nature, including all of it's natural inhabitants, including humans and their evolutions like Quincy. He doesn't have a problem with helping earth out by devouring scrap metal no longer used by humans, either. All metal he eats returns to the earth sooner or later anyway.

Cold as SteelIt rarely shows, as Barron enjoys being easy-going and filled with laughter - but when things get serious, so does he. He is a cold strategist, amazing soldier and tough fighter - he is devoted to fighting for the Nature Iramasha under the leadership of James, and also helps out with tactics. His demeanor fits the element he represents in those situations quite well - his mind is as cold as steel.

Background: Metals make up a majority of the solid mass the earth posesses. When the minerals of the planet started to get molded in larger amounts by the sentient beings on it, the natural energy within them bled out, bit by bit, and flowed back through the earth. Finally, after many centuries, these drips of metal energy began to accumulate in a single vein of iron and other, rarer materials, deep in a mine in an area that would later belong to germany.This Nature Energy did not seek conflict or tried to awaken on it's own. As it accumulated, the energy gained sentience, and began to call itself Barron - a sleeping giant that stretched far and wide throughout the earth. Even with breaks in the iron vein, the connections were still there - Barron was the center of all the metal in the world now, the sentience of that part of nature.When humans finally found the iron vein that housed Barron's spirit, they unearthed the 'heart piece' of Barron - a huge, pulsating sphere of metal. As the first person touched it carefully, the shell cracked open - and from the womb of metal, a 'person' emerged. A fully grown, powerful being, known as a Nature Iramasha, filled with the energy of earth. As the humans fled the mine in terror, Barron had no reason or desire to harm them at all. Slowly leaving his mine, searching for a meaning behind his sudden separation from his original form, he began to realize the world around him differently now. Nature was alive around him, and the metals he was representing were part of many organisms on the planet earth.After many years of wandering the planet and taking in the new impressions, though, Barron grew bored of it. He had seen the struggles and joys of mortals, and so decided to try living like a mortal. Quickly he discovered that his immense strength granted him both friends and enemies, people feared or worshipped it. So it did not take long for him to join the keltic folks around northern and middle europe during that time - his strength and valor became quickly known, and he was even called an 'Odinson' for a time. Even though his weight gave some problems at first, he also became engrossed in two other mortal joys: combat and heavy drinking, and so became one of the famous Vikings terrorizing the coasts.After one particularly gruesome fight where his men earned a lot of loot, they were suddenly surprised by a storm on the open sea. While his men and Barron fought bravely against the waves, the ship was finally broken apart by the winds, and the water weakened Barron too far to use his nature energy. Sinking like a stone to the bottom of the sea, where no light reached, it seemed over for Barron...At least until he realized that as a being made from metal, he had no need for breath. Still, without directions, finding his way in this labyrinth of underwater cliffs and plants was nearly impossible, all while making him even slower moving. Just when it looked like the steel giant could become an eternal wanderer of the depths, a voice spoke to him - the voice of the water. James, the Nature Iramasha of the Water, found the wandering giant and led him back to shore for a drink and a talk. Obviously, Barron was mainly interested in the drink.Ever since then, he joined in as a follower of his new boss James, in their task to protect nature and the planet earth, their mother.

Seishin Buki Abilities: Mordekaiser is, quite simply, a living suit of armor with it's own personality. Instead of being hollowed out, it is actually filled to the brim with liquid metal, making it incredibly heavy and resilient, as well as physicially strong. Elric is usually stored as a small, compressed chunk of metal, like a belt buckle or button, which is considerably heavy as a result.As a part of the Steel Iramasha, Morde can manipulate his own body to produce weapons, influence minerals in the ground for attacks and just beat faces in with great power.An example would be to turn his arm into a bladed weapon, or to send a shock through the ground that leads to spikes shooting out of the ground.

|P|O|W|E|R|S|________________________________________________

Nature Powers:

Manipulation: Barron has the element of metal - he can manipulate and influence minerals that he is familliar with, going so far as to being able to extract them directly from the ground. His favored combinations are heavy alloys of steel, enhanced by formulas that would normally break down, but are made natural and stable by his nature energy.Minerals he can manipulate do include diamonds as well.

Body Change

As Barron is essentially a living being of metal, he can shape it into hard, sturdy tools instead of normal body parts, essentially turning himself into a variety of objects. He can transform either his entire body or only parts of it, depending on the situation. His typical transformations include basic things, like turning his arms and legs into melee weapons, but also extravagant things like turning into liquid metals like mercury to slither through thin spaces or evade attacks.He is not limited to static objects, either. He could potentially turn parts of him into moving machinery, that instead of electricity or any other sort of normal fuel use Nature Energy and Chaos Energy to work, like drills, or even wheels out of metal attached to his legs to give him intense speed.

Railgun

By using magnetic metals, Barron changes one of his arms or even both of them into an incredible weapon-barrel of destruction. Within it, a single bullet made from extremely dense metal gets subjected to a great flow of energy and electricity created by magnetism, before getting accelerated to a fragment of the speed of light and shot out.Besides being incredibly fast, they also shine brightly because of the high friction created, and upon impact produce a great amount of heat and piercing damage, easily being able to break through thick layered steel and crack Sekiseki Stone. The firing rate is rather slow, as each bullet has to be magnetized and fired out seperately.

Metal Dragon Scales

Barron can utilize the power of an Metal dragon, making his body even harder than before by forming fake scales on it. He takes little to no damage from any attacks involving metal while it is active.

Metal Dragon's Roar

Barron's exclusive, metal-based variation, the Dragon's Roar. After gathering Nature Energy into his mouth, Barron shapes it into a powerful tornado which he subsequently emits and sends towards his foes. Such tornado possesses immense force, being capable of generating powerful explosions and inflicting heavy blunt damage, but also releases sharp shards of metal in the process, to shred the opponents' body.

Metal Dragon's Club (鉄竜棍 Tetsuryūkon)

Barron transforms his arm or leg into a large metal club, increasing his punching and kicking power. He can also create multiple smaller clubs from the end of the original, hitting many enemies at once. The clubs can be elongated at Baron's will, making it powerful ranged weapons. He is also apparently capable of increasing their size dramatically and to detach them from his body. Also, for added maneuverability and to take opponents off-guard, the club can be rapidly turned into the similar Metal Dragon's Sword.

Metal Dragon's Sword (鉄竜剣 Tetsuryūken)

Similar to Metal Dragon's Club, but possessing cutting instead of blunt power and thus being possibly deadlier, Barron transforms his arm or leg into a large, jagged steel blade. The spikes along the blade's edge make its slashes more painful and dangerous, and the weapon's length can be increased to reach enemies away from him. The sword can also function like a chainsaw, effectively increasing its damage.

Metal Dragon's Foot Blade

Barron sprouts a sharp, harpoon-like blade from the sole of each of his feet. By planting these blades in the ceiling, he's capable of remaining suspended and to move around as if he were walking normally.

Metal Dragon's Throwing Knife

Barron is capable of creating throwing knives in his hands, which appear from almost nowhere due to his Metal Dragon Slayer's powers. These are rather short and sport a ring at the end of the hilt, bearing resemblance to a kunai. They can be thrown with pinpoint accuracy.

Metal Dragon's Restraint

Barron is capable of creating metal restraints to immobilize his opponents by attaching them to surfaces. These restraints consist of a flat part with a hole, meant to immobilize the victim's limb, and come with some bolts, which secure the flat parts, and thus the victim, to the chosen surface. Both the restraints and the bolts come in different sizes.

Seemingly one of his most, if not the most powerful attack in his possession, being acknowledged as one of the Secret Arts attainable by the Metal Dragon Slayer. Barron claps his hands together above his head, and, in a moment, swipes down on the ground a gigantic sword generated between them, which destroys a huge area in front of him.

Karma Demon: Iron Spiral (業魔・鉄螺線形 Gōma Tetsu Rasen)

Seemingly his second ultimate move, Barron transforms his legs into a giant drill, which rotates at high speed, heavily damaging whatever it strikes and possessing great piercing power.

Aura: Grey with a little bit of brown mixed in.

Regeneration: Barron can devour metals of any density with his teeth, each one of them sharper and harder than normal diamond found deep within the earth itself. He could potentially chew down an entire airship within half a minute if he really tried. However, he also developed a 'quirkier' method that also works better during combat - he noticed that alcohol, especially stronger alcohol, is able to absorb and store the Nature Energy surrounding iron and steel quite easily when stored within a bottle or flask of the metal. So yes, getting drunk strengthens him!

Nature Cells: Blade can turn into a big, black dog, similliar to an oversized doberman. He has no smaller animal form, as his desnity is too high to take on such a compression.

Ranmyaku Blast: Baron transforms both of his arms into cannons.Barron then hunkers down and charges them full of nature energy, causing the earth to crack around him before raising both arms. The released blast has enough raw force to even push him back as he is using it, a testament to raw strength and impact power. The blast is gray and black in color and spiked with many sharp metal shards and shrapnell. Because of its devastating power, it has been dubbed the 'Death Cannon' by the Nature Iramasha.

Nature Spell(s): Spells are the tools of mages, and needless to say, Barron is not really a mage. As a born fighter and brawler, he lacks any actual Nature Spells, relying on his inherit ways of elemental manipulation.

Chaos Moves: A basic Chaos Blast enriched by Nature Energy is the most you'll ever see Barron do.

Steel's Return:

Command: Steel's Return: Sun Goes Up

Description: Sun Goes Up is the form that activates the power of steel within Barron and enhances it many times over - basicially, he enhances his already great connection to his element to the logical maximum. This also applies to Mordekaiser, obviously, making them both a lot stronger. Windup times for any of their moves get reduced greatly, while their physical power grows further. Mordekaiser is now able to utilize his personal arsenal of special attacks:

Siphon of Destruction: Mordekaiser screams at the earth, raising a cone of destructive metal clubs with spikes from the ground infront of him, devastating a large area.

Creeping Death: Summoning a cloud of shrapnel around a target, it acts as a shield for anyone on Barron's side, potentially ripping apart whoever is stupid enough to attack it directly. Lasts for one post.

Mace of Spades: The next swing with Mordekaiser's mace gets enhanced by a great amount, rupturing whatever it hits with the power of metal.

Steel's Strike:

Command: Steel's Strike: Fight As One

Evolved Seishin Buki: Barron and Mordekaiser join together for this, the Nature Iramasha now entering the suit of armor. By combining his unique body structure with the liquid internal metal of the armor, he strengthens it to many times it's original power, merging it with his body perfectly. The armor looks a lot more menacing now with Barron inside, and their minds get linked together as well. Obviously, Barron can now use Mordekaiser's attacks.

Description: Barron unleashes his Nature Energy into the environment around them, changing the area into metal. In addition, the area of roughly one city block appears in the form of tall, glistening skyscrapers, creating an optimal battlefield for Barron, who can easily control the entire metal area he has created.

Steel's Purity:

Command: Steel's Purity: Giant of Babil

Description: Barron expands his metallic body with energy, making him and Mordekaiser grow on size dramatically. While variable, he is at least 15 feet tall once using it, but can also grow as tall as the empire state building if he has to. Oddly enough though, his weight also steadily grows, but at a slower pace than his size. Meaning the 15 feet Barron will have more condensed mass, while the taller one is simply nearly impossible to dodge without crackajack timing but can do far less controlled or aimed destruction, armed to be a siege form to annihilate whole enemy bases.While in the Giant of Babil form, Barron's power pulls all stops away, and he can virtually mold any part of his body into guns, blades and gunblades of any size, shape or form, turning himself into a cloud of destruction and mass annihilation, but being nearly impossible to aim correctly, he has to rely on overpowering strength alone. His speed, even with tank-like apandages, is not really that good initially, but if he picks up speed, he's more destructive than any bullet tank you know to whichever poor sap gets in his path.Also, thanks to the heightening mass and density, the metals inside of his body start to melt and mold, allowing him to fire superheated metal bullets instead of 'only' hyper-accelerated ones, combining both electromagnetic powers of magnetic metals and the heat of molten ones to enhance his potential power many times over.
